My Mission Statement

Past successes:
I recently partook in 2 music examination session, both practical and theory exams. Having never written any form of music exam, it makes me proud that I managed to pass my first music exams with a distinction. These passes make me qualified to join the KZN Youth Orchestra, which is a standard I set for myself to achieve before reaching the end of high school. I have also been selected to lead my fellow school mates, in the position of a prefect and SRC member for the past 4 years, and hopefully will be able to keep that record for the entirety of my high school career. In school, I have set goals for myself, and the greatest of these goals was to gain entrance to the Carpe Diem society, a group that excels in academic performance. I failed to reach said standards in grades 8 and 9; however I have since been a member of the Carpe Diem society from the start of grade 10 to date, which is a great achievement for me. Aside from mental and academic performance, I also set a goal for my athletic performance. I set my sights on gaining a podium position; this has granted me the opportunity to represent my school at the KICCSSA; an athletics meeting of IEB schools from around the province. In my church, I have manage to integrate the use of technology in the running of kids ministry, as well as integrate the use of technology in youth and have been an active member in the AV as well as music team in the adult’s church. I have learnt a lot in my experiences in the church, and will carry these into my career and nurture said skills.
Core values: 1. I believe in striving to maintain a healthy balance in my school and personal life 2. I believe that family is of great importance, and thus will treat them in said important manner 3. I believe that trust is to be earned, respect given, yet if lost must also be earned 4. I believe and…...

...Mission Statement
Making a life choice at a later age, such as changing to a new career field, can be wrought with anguish and confusion as well as excitement and anticipation. Knowing that this decision may change the routine, future, and even financial status of the individual and family members, either temporarily or for a lifetime can be daunting. Once that decision is made, and by putting into perspective the reason for selecting the career choice with the use of a mission statement, one can put the ideas in an order that can be understood and provide a direction for that goal.
The purpose of a mission statement is to provide one with a purpose, by declaring desired values, in order to meet a need (Radtke, 1998). Addressing these areas not only addresses the purpose, but also can provide inspiration, commitment, innovation and courage to the author (Radtke, 1998). Following is the author’s mission statement and the explanation of that statement.

Primarily, providing patient advocacy and the education and care of the patient in a changing healthcare environment through one’s competency, leadership skills, management skills, and diversity.

...selected for mission statement analysis is
United Bronx Parents, Inc.
There website is: http://www.ubpinc.org
The current mission statement is as follows:
“United Bronx Parents, Inc. (UBP) is a private, not-for profit “community grown” human services agency – providing a variety of social services in the South Bronx and on a citywide basis. Since 1965, UBP’s mission has been “To provide the basic human services necessary for families and individuals to obtain self-proficiency through dignity in their struggle to participate as the functioning and valuable citzens they are.””
The mission statement for UBP is aesthetically good and overall meaningful.
It has a purpose statement, it lists the population it is working with and the activities. It also touches on its values and the geographic region it serves. However, it is longer than thirty words. To revise it I would shorten it slightly to read as such:
“United Bronx Parents, Inc. is a private not for profit “community grown” human services agency providing the basic human services necessary for families and individuals in the South Bronx.”
The second organization that I selected is Providence House which is the non-profit organization that provided me with my supportive housing apartment that I recently moved into since being a victim of a violent crime and subsequently homeless with my daughter for the past four years.

Mission and Vision Statement Analysis Paper
Example 1: Salvation Army
URL: http://www.use.salvationarmy.org/use/www_usn20.nsf/vw-sublinks/F7522AC461DED52F8825770B0056535B
Mission Statement:
“The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination”.
Analysis:
Salvation Army’s vision and mission statements are one in the same and seem to lack length, direction, and meaning. Their published mission statement is not what one would expect from a nonprofit organization. It fails to address some of the areas since much of the organization's existence is tied up in this purpose; it is critical for the people to carefully craft the statements that shape it. Each one will be used both internally and externally as a reminder of the organization's rationale, and together they will be used to make important decisions about the organization. It lacks of the mission statement checklist test, the activities and services was not provided.
Revised Mission Statement:
“ Salvation Army is committed to serving the whole person, body, mind and spirit, with integrity and respect, using creative solutions to positively transform lives. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to......

...stages of building an organization, mission statements are usually one of the first tasks to be completed by founding members. This is because the mission statement is the backbone of the organization. Mission statements lay out the organization’s reason for existence. In laying out the purpose for the organization, it gives the different divisions of the organization an overall goal to meet when they set individual goals and engage in decision making. Also, the mission statement communicates the reason for the organizations existence for all interested parties, both internally and externally. This essay explores why mission statements are important by analyzing the different reasons the mission statement plays such an important role.
Just as the sounds of many instruments work in harmony to make a song, there are many moving parts that work together in organizations to reach goals. In music, timing helps keep all the “parts” moving together to make a synchronized piece. In business, the mission statement sets the tone by which all the “parts” work to reach a goal. The mission statement states what the company does, how it does it, and what the company would like to achieve. The mission statement defines the purpose of the organization, aligns organizational efforts, and acts as a means of communication both internally and externally.
All decisions made in an organization support the purpose set forth by the mission statement. If decisions are made that stray......

...Mission statement and swot
As a security professional, the company I work for has worked closely with the TSA for airport security details. While my organization doesn't have a clearly defined mission statement and vision, the TSA does.
Mission:
Protect the Nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.
Vision:
Provide the most effective transportation security in the most efficient way as a high performing counter-terrorism organization.
Core Values:
Integrity
- Respect and care for others and protect the information we handle.
- Conduct ourselves in an honest, trustworthy and ethical manner at all times.
- Gain strength from the diversity in our cultures.
Innovation
- Embrace and stand ready for change.
- Courageous and willing to take on new challenges.
- Have an enterprising spirit, striving for innovation and accepting the risk-taking that comes with it.
Team Spirit
- Open, respectful and dedicated to making others better.
- Have a passion for challenge, success and being on a winning team.
- Build teams around our strengths.
The TSA, while suffering much criticism, has undoubtedly deterred much violence in today's social climate just through it's very existence. Sometimes the methods in which security professionals and law enforcement accomplish their missions are called into question, but I believe that this stems from a deep seated resentment of authority figures that many in society harbor. It's hard to......

...Mission Statement
The mission of professional nurses is to ensure the best medical care is advanced to all that are in need of it as and at when required to enable improved health of all patients. The scope of work done by the medical nursing association is majorly controlled by two bodies: regulatory agencies and professional organizations. Regulatory agencies serve to protect the public by ensuring that safe and competent practices are provided by well-trained people. This is achieved by setting the nursing care standards and issuance of nursing certificates to deserving people (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, NCSBN, 2015). Nurses’ professional bodies serve to ensure that the best qualified nurses are hired and ensure that their welfare needs are met by engaging with the associated organizations such as the government and private employers to ensure the best working conditions and payment for the nurses (American Nurses Association, 2015).
Various codes of ethics have been formulated to govern the nursing fraternity. Such include the primary purpose being the patient and the promotion of his or her health. These instructions ensure that my commitment is first to ensure that the patient receives the best and most adequate care that is needed. They also ensure that I have sufficient interaction with the patient so that I may be able to be of help if and when needed (American Nurses Association , 2011). The code of ethics should be followed by all members of......

...Criteria of a Good Mission Statement
Changing the mission or creating an organization’s first mission statement is a process of gathering ideas and suggestions for the mission and honing them into a short, sharply focused phrase that meets specific criteria.
An effective mission statement clearly defines who the customer is and what services and products the business intends to provide. It also serves as a guide for day-to-day operations and as the foundation for future decision-making. The following are criteria for a good mission statement:
The Mission Statement is Focuses on Satisfying Customer Needs A mission statement should focused on satisfying customer needs rather than being focused on the product. Products and technologies eventually become outdated, but basic market needs may last forever. A market-oriented mission statement defines the business in terms of satisfying basic customer needs. For examples refer to the following “Market-Oriented Business Definitions” table. (Kotler p.49)
The Mission Statement Tells “Who” Our Customers are. (Thompson Strickland, p.30) Who is being satisfied? A company should define the type of customers it wishes to serve. Which customer groups it is targeting. Customer groups are relevant because they indicate the market to be served, the geographic domain to be covered, and the types of buyers the firm is going after.
The Mission Statement Explains “What” Customer Needs Our Company is Trying to Satisfy. What customer needs is the...

...Mission statements are an essential element of a company’s organizational strategy and serve as foundational guides in the establishment of company objectives. They embody the philosophies, goals, and ambitions of a company and should offer insight into what company leader’s view as the primary purpose for being in business. A mission statement is quite possibly the most important issuance that a company has to offer to all of its customers or consumers. It can help focus the organization on what really matters to itself as well as its stakeholders. They act as the glue that binds organizations together through the guidance of strategic and day-to-day operational decisions. An effective mission statement indicates how a firm is unique in its scope of operations and its products or service offerings. In addition, it proclaims corporate purpose, what the organization tends to accomplish, the market in which the firm intends to operate, and the philosophical bounds that are to guide their actions.
The coffee industry has boomed in recent years. While fast food chains are growing at a rate of 2% each year, coffee shop chains grow more than 10% annually. According to the National Coffee Association Annual Drinking Trends Survey, “Even though 75% of the cups of coffee brewed daily are consumed at home, 66% of Americans buy their coffee outside of their homes.” This creates a strong demand in the coffeehouse market.

Currently I am at the beginning of my studies. I am in the process of completing my first two classes with Devry. In five years I will have completed obtaining my degree, and will be working for a large accounting firm as a successful business woman. I will apply my strong leadership and excellent characteristics to help improve that company. If I am a proficient account I may be running my own accounting firm. My final goal is I would like to work from home as a successful accountant to allow more time for my family, and show my family that I am a positive role model.
Currently in choosing my classes I have been working with an academic advisor. I have had several credits transfer into DeVry, which has helped. It will take approximately two and a half years to complete my courses with DeVry. At the completion of my courses with DeVry I hope to use what I have learned and work further with my CPA degree.

After reviewing the nonprofit organizations, I decided to do my assignment on The Red Cross and Community Blood Centers of South Florida. I chose these two because of their similarities in coming to the aid of those who are in dire need of their assistance. The Red Cross’ website is and Community Blood Centers is
First, The Red Cross (www.redcross.org) Mission Statement says, “The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies”. This mission statement has all of the Statement Checklist except for Fewer Than Thirty Words and The Geographic Regions Served. If I had to rewrite it to meet the criteria of the checklist I would have said, “The Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, guided by Principles of the International Red Cross. Provides relief to victims of disasters across the world, and prepare for emergencies.”
Second, Community Blood Centers (http://www.cbcsf.org ) Mission Statement says, “Community Blood Centers of Florida, Inc., (CBCF) is a non-profit all voluntary blood collection agency. Each year, CBCF collects over 250,000 pints of blood and blood products for hospital and kidney dialysis patients. CBCF serves......

Mission statements are the most valuable overviews of a company. It is what separates a company with similar visions and goals from the next. A good mission statement provides a detailed understanding of a company’s unique purpose, functions and operations, products and services, market type and terms of technology. A mission statement also represent the business philosophy of strategic decisions to the firms self concept, primary customer needs of satisfaction, which in all reflect the values and priorities of the company’s performance over a life time. This is a detailed overview of how to construct a well developed mission statement using an example of Facebook a live networking websites. (Strategic Management, 12th Edition, pg 21)
Face book’s mission is “to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.” (Facebook) As mentioned above, a mission statement is an overview of the company. A well written mission statement will provide in details its company’s unique purpose, functions and operations, products and services, market type, terms of technology, self concept, customer satisfaction, values, and priorities of the company’s performance which are not listed within the facebook’s mission statement. They do provide a philosophy, but it also does not give full details of how they provide users with satisfaction. The missing characteristics of the mission statement make their statement underdeveloped......

Business Strategy
There are many reasons that strategies are implemented in any business. In this paper we will discuss the concepts of strategic management process and future oriented plans. We will discuss organizational vision, mission, purpose, philosophy and goals. The last topic will be on strategic processes as input for future decision making.
The strategic management process is defined as the set of decisions and actions that result in the formulation and implementation of plans designed to achieve a company’s objective (Pearce & Robinson, pg.3, 2010). The overall health and growth of a company will provide success if the proper planning is set in place. This will also allow the managers to implement the goals that the company set in place. The management is responsible for implementing the company’s goals and to be successful. This would include allocating resources, focusing on quality, assets and outsourcing, to help the company long term prosperity (Pearce & Robinson, pg. 5, 2010). The beginning part of the process is the company mission and statements to provide the ground path to follow (Pearce & Robinson, pg13, 2010). These specific goals and statements provide the company a specific operation. The mission statement is the most important part of the process and provides the definition of the company. The next process is to analyze the company internally and externally to discover their strengths and weakness (Pearce & Robinson, pg. 13, 2010). This......
